STAMFORD, Conn., July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications, Inc. (along with its subsidiaries, the "Company" or "Charter") today reported financial and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Key highlights:

Pro forma1 for the acquisition of Bresnan, total residential customer relationships grew by 4.5% over the last twelve months, with second quarter residential revenue per customer growing 1.9% on a pro forma basis compared to the prior-year period.

Residential customer relationships increased 27,000 during the second quarter, versus 2,000 during the second quarter of 2013. Residential primary service units ("PSUs") increased by 55,000 during the period, versus 28,000 in the year-ago quarter, including continued improvement in year-over-year video customer trends.

Second quarter revenues of $2.3 billion grew 7.3% on a pro forma basis as compared to the prior-year period, led by residential revenue growth of 6.4%, and commercial revenue growth of 19.0%.

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA2 grew by 7.9% year-over-year on a pro forma basis. Net loss totaled $45 million in the second quarter of 2014, an improvement compared to a $95 million net loss on a pro forma basis in the year-ago period.

"Our strategic initiatives to reposition Charter in the marketplace are gaining momentum and having their intended impact, attracting customers and driving faster revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth," said Tom Rutledge, President and CEO of Charter Communications. "As we continue to implement our all-digital initiative, and roll-out the Charter Spectrum brand and product suite, Charter is well positioned to drive higher levels of product penetration, financial growth and return on investment."

1 All customer data and results, unless otherwise noted, are pro forma for the Bresnan transaction, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012, and are provided in the addendum of this news release.

2 Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are defined in the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics" section and are reconciled to net loss and net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, in the addendum of this news release.

NM - Not meaningful

On July 1, 2013, Charter completed its acquisition of Cablevision's Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Bresnan"). As a result of the acquisition, Charter added cable operating systems in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah that pass approximately 670,000 homes and serve approximately 375,000 residential and business customers. All customer data referred to herein, are pro forma for the Bresnan transaction, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012.

During the second quarter of 2014, Charter's residential customer relationship and PSU growth improved year-over-year. Residential customer relationships grew by 27,000, up from 2,000 in the second quarter of 2013, with triple play sell-in improving year-over-year, to 58% of total residential video sales. Commercial customer relationships grew by 6,000 in the second quarter of 2014, compared to a gain of 7,000 customers in the prior-year period.

Residential PSUs increased by 55,000 versus 28,000 in the year-ago quarter, while commercial PSUs increased 19,000 during the second quarter versus a gain of 18,000 in the year-ago quarter.

As of the end of the second quarter of 2014, Charter had completed 60% of its all-digital initiative. All-digital allows Charter to offer more advanced products and services, and provides residential customers with two-way digital set-tops, which offer higher picture quality, an interactive programming guide and video on demand on all TV outlets in the home. Charter expects to complete its all-digital initiative by year-end 2014.

During the second quarter, Charter continued to introduce its new product suite, Charter Spectrum, in markets that were recently converted to all-digital, including St. Louis, Madison, Reno, portions of Charter's Michigan, North Carolina and Alabama footprints, and other areas. Charter customers in these markets now have access to an industry-leading suite of video, data, and voice services that includes over 200 HD channels, in addition to minimum offered Internet speeds of 60 Mbps, and a fully featured voice service, delivered at a highly competitive price. Charter Spectrum is being introduced across Charter's markets in 2014, in conjunction with the Company's all-digital initiative. Charter Spectrum is available to new Charter customers, and to existing customers within the Company's new pricing and packaging structure launched in 2012. As of the end of the second quarter of 2014, 80% of residential customers were in Charter's new pricing and packaging, excluding customers in the former Bresnan properties.

Residential video customers decreased by 29,000 in the second quarter of 2014, versus a loss of 55,000 in the year-ago period. The improvement in video customer performance was driven by Charter's increasingly competitive video product, including more HD channels and video on demand offerings, attractive packaging of advanced services, improved selling methods, and enhanced service quality.

Charter added 49,000 residential Internet customers in the second quarter of 2014, compared to 38,000 a year ago. As of June 30, 2014, over 80% of Charter's residential Internet customers subscribed to tiers that provided speeds of 30 Mbps or more. The Company continues to see strong demand for its Internet service as consumers value the speed and reliability of Charter's Internet offering.

During the second quarter, the Company added 35,000 residential voice customers, versus a gain of 45,000 during the second quarter of 2013, reflecting continued triple play sell-in.

First quarter residential revenue per customer relationship totaled $110.81, and grew by 1.9% on a pro forma basis as compared to the prior-year period, driven by rate adjustments, higher product sell-in and promotional rate step-ups, partially offset by continued single play Internet sell-in and bulk digital upgrades.

Revenue

Second quarter 2014 revenues rose to $2.3 billion, 7.3% higher on a pro forma basis than the year-ago quarter, due to growth in Internet, video and commercial revenues. On an actual basis, second quarter revenues rose 14.6% year-over-year.

Internet revenues grew 15.2% on a pro forma basis compared to the year-ago quarter to $638 million, driven by an increase of 364,000 Internet customers during the last year and by price adjustments. On an actual basis, Internet revenues grew 22.7% year-over-year.

Voice revenues totaled $145 million, a decline of 14.2% on a pro forma basis versus the second quarter of 2013, due to value-based pricing and revenue allocation from higher bundling, partially offset by the addition of 184,000 voice customers in the last twelve months. Voice revenues declined 8.2% year-over-year, on an actual basis.

Commercial revenues rose to $244 million, an increase of 19.0% on a pro forma basis over the prior-year period, and was driven by higher sales to small and medium business customers and to carrier customers. On an actual basis, commercial revenues grew 27.7% year-over-year.

Second quarter advertising sales revenues of $79 million increased 3.9% on a pro forma basis compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by an increase in political advertising revenue. Advertising sales increased 8.2% year-over-year, on an actual basis.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Second quarter total operating costs and expenses increased 7.0% on a pro forma basis compared to the year-ago period, reflecting increases in programming costs, costs to service customers, and other expenses. Second quarter total operating costs include $14 million of net non-recurring expense benefits.

Second quarter programming expense increased by $54 million on a pro forma basis, or 9.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013, reflecting contractual programming increases and higher expanded basic package penetration. Costs to service customers grew by $16 million on a pro forma basis, or 4.0% as compared to the second quarter of last year, driven primarily by higher labor costs to deliver higher quality products and service levels. Other expenses grew by $17 million on a pro forma basis, or 9.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2013, reflecting higher commercial labor costs and corporate expenses. On an actual basis, total operating costs and expenses grew by 14.4% year-over-year.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $795 million grew by 7.9% year-over-year on a pro forma basis, reflecting pro forma revenue growth and operating costs and expenses growth of 7.3% and 7.0%, respectively. On an actual basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 14.9% compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by the factors described above, and by the acquisition of Bresnan.

Net Loss

Net loss totaled $45 million in the second quarter of 2014, an improvement compared to a $95 million net loss on a pro forma basis and $96 million net loss on an actual basis in the year-ago period. Net loss decreased year-over-year on a pro forma basis primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $81 million during the second quarter of 2013. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was $0.42 in the second quarter of 2014 compared to $0.94 on a pro forma basis, and $0.96 on an actual basis during the same period last year. The decrease in net loss per common share was primarily the result of the factors described above.

Capital Expenditures

Property, plant and equipment expenditures were $570 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared to $440 million on a pro forma basis and $422 million on an actual basis, during the second quarter of 2013. Charter's all-digital initiative was the primary driver of the year-over-year increase in capital expenditures, and accounted for $134 million of total second quarter capital expenditures.

Excluding 2014 potential expenditures specifically related to the transactions announced with Comcast on April 28, Charter expects 2014 capital expenditures to be approximately $2.2 billion, driven by Charter's all-digital transition including the deployment of additional set-top boxes in new and existing customer homes, growth in Charter's commercial business, and further spend related to efforts to insource service operations as well as product development. The actual amount of our capital expenditures will depend on a number of factors including the growth rates of both our residential and commercial businesses, and the pace at which we progress to all-digital transmission, which we anticipate will comprise approximately $400 million of 2014 capital expenditures.

Cash Flow

During the second quarter of 2014, net cash flows from operating activities totaled $632 million, compared to $484 million in the second quarter of 2013. The increase in net cash flows from operating activities was primarily related to an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and working capital benefits.

Free cash flow for the second quarter of 2014 was $70 million, compared to $75 million during the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to higher capital expenditures, partly offset by an increase in cash flows from operating activities.

Liquidity

Total principal amount of debt was approximately $14.1 billion as of June 30, 2014. At the end of the quarter, Charter held $9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and its credit facilities provided approximately $1.2 billion of additional liquidity.

Additional Information Available on Website

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in the Company's Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 available on the "Financial Information" section of our investor relations website at ir.charter.com. A slide presentation to accompany the conference call and a trending schedule containing historical customer and financial data can also be found in the "Financial Information" section.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

The Company uses certain measures that are not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") to evaluate various aspects of its business. Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net loss or cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net loss and free cash flow is reconciled to net cash flows from operating activities in the addendum of this news release.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock compensation expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, (gain) loss on derivative instruments, net and other operating expenses, such as special charges and (gain) loss on sale or retirement of assets. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company's businesses as well as other non-cash or special items, and is unaffected by the Company's capital structure or investment activities. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing. These costs are evaluated through other financial measures.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash flows from operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment and changes in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

Management and the Company's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow to assess Charter's performance and its ability to service its debt, fund operations and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company's credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the credit facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission). For the purpose of calculating compliance with leverage covenants, we use Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, excluding certain expenses paid by our operating subsidiaries to other Charter entities. Our debt covenants refer to these expenses as management fees which fees were in the amount of $58 million and $47 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and $122 million and $98 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In addition to the actual results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we have provided pro forma results in this release for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. We believe these pro forma results facilitate meaningful analysis of the results of operations. Pro forma results in this release reflect certain acquisitions of cable systems in 2013 as if they occurred as of January 1, 2012. Pro forma statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are provided in the addendum of this news release.

Risks Related to Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") Transactions

the ultimate outcome of the proposed transactions between Charter and Comcast including the possibility that such transactions may not occur if closing conditions are not satisfied;

if any such transaction were to occur, the ultimate outcome and results of integrating operations and application of our operating strategies to the acquired assets and the ultimate ability to realize synergies at the levels currently expected as well as potential programming dis-synergies;

the impact of the proposed transaction on our stock price and future operating results, including due to transaction and integration costs, increased interest expense, business disruption, and diversion of management time and attention;

the reduction in our current stockholders' percentage ownership and voting interest as a result of the proposed transaction;

the increase in indebtedness as a result of the proposed transactions, which will increase interest expense and may decrease our operating flexibility;

Risks Related to Business

our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flow from operations by offering video, Internet, voice, advertising and other services to residential and commercial customers, to adequately meet the customer experience demands in our markets and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition, the need for innovation and the related capital expenditures and the difficult economic conditions in the United States;

the impact of competition from other market participants, including but not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband and telephone providers, digital subscriber line ("DSL") providers, and video provided over the Internet;

general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn, high unemployment levels and the level of activity in the housing sector;

our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to raise prices to offset, in whole or in part, the effects of higher programming costs (including retransmission consents);

the development and deployment of new products and technologies, including in connection with our plan to make our systems all-digital in 2014;

the effects of governmental regulation on our business or potential business combination transactions;

the availability and access, in general, of funds to meet our debt obligations prior to or when they become due and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through (i) cash on hand, (ii) free cash flow, or (iii) access to the capital or credit markets;

our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this release.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP term. See page 7 of this addendum for the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net loss as defined by GAAP.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2014 presentation.

(a) Pro forma results reflect certain acquisitions of cable systems in 2013 as if they occurred as of January 1, 2012.

June 30, 2013. Pro forma revenues and operating expenses increased by $133 million and $88 million, respectively, and net loss decreased by $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Pro forma revenues, operating expenses and net loss increased by $264 million, $174 million and $25 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

See footnotes to unaudited summary of operating statistics on page 6 of this addendum.

(a)

We calculate the aging of customer accounts based on the monthly billing cycle for each account. On that basis, at June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, customers include approximately 15,400, 11,100, 11,300 and 9,600 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 60 days, approximately 1,300, 900, 800 and 900 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 90 days and approximately 700, 800, 900 and 700 customers, respectively, whose accounts were over 120 days.

(b)

"Passings" represent our estimate of the number of units, such as single family homes, apartment and condominium units and commercial establishments passed by our cable distribution network in the areas where we offer the service indicated. These estimates are updated for all periods presented based upon the information available at that time.

(c)

"Penetration" represents residential and commercial customers as a percentage of estimated passings for the service indicated.

(d)

"Customer Relationships" include the number of customers that receive one or more levels of service, encompassing video, Internet and voice services, without regard to which service(s) such customers receive. This statistic is computed in accordance with the guidelines of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association ("NCTA"). Commercial customer relationships include video customers in commercial structures, which are calculated on an EBU basis (see footnote (p)) and non-video commercial customer relationships.

"Primary Service Units" or "PSUs" represent the total of video, Internet and voice customers.

(i)

"Quarterly Net Additions/(Losses)" represent the net gain or loss in the respective quarter for the service indicated.

(j)

"Bulk Digital Upgrade Net Additions" represents the portion of residential video net additions as a result of adding a digital set-top box to a bulk unit.

(k)

"Single Play Penetration" represents residential customers receiving only one Charter service offering, including video, Internet or voice, as a % of residential customer relationships.

(l)

"Double Play Penetration" represents residential customers receiving only two Charter service offering, including video, Internet and/or voice, as a % of residential customer relationships.

(m)

"Triple Play Penetration" represents residential customers receiving all three Charter service offerings, including video, Internet and voice, as a % of residential customer relationships.

(n)

"Digital Penetration" represents the number of residential digital video customers as a percentage of residential video customers.

(o)

"Monthly Residential Revenue per Residential Customer" is calculated as total residential video, Internet and voice quarterly revenue divided by three divided by average residential customer relationships during the respective quarter.

(p)

Included within commercial video customers are those in commercial structures, which are calculated on an equivalent bulk unit ("EBU") basis. We calculate EBUs by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the published rate charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. This EBU method of estimating video customers is consistent with the methodology used in determining costs paid to programmers and is consistent with the methodology used by other multiple system operators. As we increase our published video rates to residential customers without a corresponding increase in the prices charged to commercial service customers, our EBU count will decline even if there is no real loss in commercial service customers. For example, commercial video customers decreased by 5,000 and 10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, due to published video rate increases and other revisions to customer reporting methodology.
